御敵をひとり待つ	Waiting on a lover.
逢瀨は然も チンチロリン	A risky rendezvous; surely a roll of the dice

搖らぐゆらぐ情火に 我が身焦がす	At this fickle passion, my body yearns.
御伽の謂れを 追ひて	A pretext for a mistress, so sought after.
帶おびの結びを 解き放す	Garments unbound, and our bodies liberated.
華やぎの翳りに 積もる塵芥	Within the shade of the bright and flowery, the dirty piling on.

如何にもな きぬぎぬ惜しむ振り	Going through the motions of the post-coital morn.
果てに云ふは 『御上手になすつて』	And at our parting, I say: "Good fortune to you!"
今はかくも 數多あまたの季ときが過ぎ	And now, with many seasons past,
長らへば 鳥も世を知り 色を知り	the fledgling chicks have now become birds, and see the world with color,
戲られ 事去られ それでも尙なお 君を思ふ	You fooled around with me, and left me. And yet, all the more, I still think of you.
